[HTC One X+] ArminasAnarchy:
First thing first, cheers for this man! It's good to be able to have a "conversation" with a dev - although Linux distros have got more infrastructure in place, there is a lack of 1:1 as a result (of having so many devs, etc).

It wasn't a dirty flash at all - every time I've written a new ROM I've wiped everything (or at least, ticked all the boxes in TWRP), then after reformatted - you can see the output of the 'make ext4fs' in front of your eyes. So unless it's that there's some partition which is write-protected (I assume the kernel is - since every time I've had to flash a new kernel - regardless of the wiping in TWRP, the phone just boot-loops without the kernel being flashed)...it's been clean.

I flashed 10.1 BEFORE it was in stable - so my phone was still pointing at the nightly repo (I guess?). GooManager pestered me into updating, and when I did, I ran into issues (presumably, the auto-update isn't intelligent enough to write a new kernel, and/or its in this write-protected partition which can't be accessed from the OS?)

It'd been a while since I'd put 10.1 on, and thought it'd be worth checking to see if it was in stable yet (it was). Did full wipe - as above - and then hit that annoying bug with call dropping. So I'd gone from being working on nightly to broken on stable. Time for a new ROM, methinks...looked around, and decide to post here.

As things stand I'm using AOKP (just because it was another popular ROM I knew, not really for any other reason). It's doing my head in though - either I'm being thick, or there's no option to edit settings in ANY app. I'm missing some of the gloss CM has too, things like it coming with a File Manager installed (why the hell would you not have one?!). From what you say, flashing 10.1 might be worth trying again...I'll go through from ground 0 and hopefully it won't break this time.

I get the thing with not wanting to advertise...so instead can I ask what you yourself use on your HOX+? Do you use it as a main phone, or is it just something you use for developing?
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
you are right on point 1, it's in the write protected partition, and 2nd point, i tend to use my own rom's....i'am in the mindset, if i don't use my own rom's why should other people? :)
[HTC One X+] ArminasAnarchy:
Haha, I see the logic!

Okay: so we've narrowed it down to a kernel issue. With my AOKP flash, what I did (blade wasn't for the right Android version I think) was extracted the .img file from the ROM.zip and flashed that.

With CM 10,1 (i.e. stable channel) - in your opinion would it be better to do the same, or use the blade kernel?
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
ALL my rom's are extract kernel from zip, i'am not sure what max did with his AOKP.....but 100% all mine you pull from zip and flash that :)

you can try the CM10.2 btw M1 not long ago released....just an idea..
[HTC One X+] ArminasAnarchy:
Re-installed 10.1 (stable) again. Same issue, even though I've only had it running for 24 hours, it's dropped the call and didn't seem able to get 3G data (it was stuck at "E" for some reason, which makes doing anything impossible) despite being in the middle of the city and not near anything obvious that should block it like a huge block of flats etc.

I installed 10.2, we'll see how it goes.

Open root explorer. Go to /data/dalvik cache. Select all files in the folder and delete them. Reboot immediately. Stuff will get very unstable till you do.

This will re optimize the system after all the changes you have been making.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] FakrudeenAhamed:
Similar to this, is thr a way to clear cache partition without recovery mode?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SladeZero:
What is the purpose of doing this? Will this clear my settings or default programs?

Adversely, I have one default program I would like to clear but it does not show up on the default app list... can I clear this one manually? Namely I want to switch back to using Svoice vs Google Voice and no matter what i do I can switch it back. Turning on Svoice under settings does nothing.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] deton24:
So cache partition stores all these settings which can be deleted from settings->apps? or it's maybe something like temp in Windows?

Whether will be deleted apps settings after wiping cache partition?

edit. I found.

None settings deleted. It just support's faster lauching of most used apps. After wiping, few lauching of the app restores previous condition of executing. May fix errors during opening some app, due to some overloads of this memory.

Because dalvik cache stores fragments of compiled code of an installed apps, and can be just deleted for restore some performance of system (it is restored after reboot).

Especially these wiping these two - dalvik and partition cache, is sometimes practised after installing lots of apps, to improve performance, maybe some errors.

Correct me if something's wrong.

Hi everyone,

I used LG2 for quiet some times. I found that the knock on feature is very handy. Anyone could found any app that resemble that?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You've posted in the wrong section, but the only one I could find (I only searched for two minutes) was the whole G2 launcher that includes the knock on feature. It looks like it works on most phones, but you're also forced to use the ugliest and worst launcher in the world.

You must be rooted and you can download it here:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
So.. Does that mean that the feature is not a low level one? Meaning we can program it on top level?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
I just tried that, by pushing apps with right permissions in system/app, but it doesn't work.

I don't know if there's a switch to turn that on or off, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't work at all, it's just a simple launcher with no functions at all...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madgalaxy:
Double tap to wake is a function of the kernel. It has been around long before the G2 in custom kernels (i.e. HTC One with Bulletproof kernel). It is on the Z tablet and a shame Sony did not bring it to the Z Ultra.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jnocomski:
I just use Screen Off app from the Playstore. Why should I double tap if I can just single tap it's app icon to make the screen sleep and lock?! To wake it is another thing though. I tested some kernel back then with my SG Note II that do that (touch screen to wake) but it was buggy! :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SOESANTO:
So, it would be if we could find this feature in Google Play (with or without root). I am willing to donate for this feature. Especially the phone is big, would be nice if we can turn on the screen without having to pick up the phone from the table.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
There are at least 10 options to turn the screen off, and only half of them require root.

The cool thing to do would be turning the screen ON, or better yet, having the possibility to turn it on and off with two taps on the screen.

If you ever try an LG G2 you will know why that would be cool.

I personally use GMD gesture and turn the screen off pinching three fingers, that's really showing off with all my colleagues and friends... :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Well after using this device, a double tap gesture is not that required and maybe introducing additional issue considering its size and weight distribution in the hand. Plus with the flip case it comes with, turn off and on based on proximity sensor is the more elegant way to run this beast. I made my self a tasker script for that and i love it all the more :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
You know, I really don't seem to get the grip of Tasker. I install it once in a while, try something, nothing ever works, I give up and uninstall it.

I would really like a full guide on this neat program.

I bet you could even make a task for waking up/putting to sleep the phone by a tap on the SmartWatch 2 (a user made a Tasker extension for it here on XDA)...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Well you don't have to use tasker, plenty of alternative method to do proximity on/off.. :) but well i might write a simple tutorial for tasker if i have time. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KonW:
hve been use Wave 2 Wake

,,,another way to wake up phone without power button,,,so far works fine for me
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Rebel242:
A link for your app ?

Thx :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fastest83:
Just search for "wave2wake" in the PlayStore app...

Works for me, but it's way too sensitive. And sometimes it just won't notice when I wave.

I say it definitely needs more development, but seeing that since I installed it (yesterday) it already received an update, I also say we're in good hands. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jnocomski:
Thanks for this. Tried it and it works. But I went for Every Cover as I'm using a flip cover and it'll be good to make the screen on/off when i close/open it. :)

I know this has been asked, but the answer I've yet found aren't very clear: What are the pros and cons of changing dpi? Why are people going against such trouble for it?

To me DPI is a synonym of resolution: getting a better resolution is impossible on a fixed screen, and going for a lower one just seems usefull on a PC when you need better framerate

to reset the unlocked to lock stats.

is there anyway possible to bring this brick back to life or do i have send it back to google? :confused:

If it doesn't turn on I think you're hosed. You messed up one the partitions running the commands you did Please read the pinned (stickies) threads on the general forum before you do anything on your new device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoldr:
You wiped an important partition of the phone, and now it won't boot. Looks like you are out of luck. You can probably call Google and tell them your phone won't turn on, but technically that would be lying because you broke it without reading.

If you do get a replacement, and want to unlock the bootloader just get fastboot and type 'fastboot oem unlock'. That's it. This is a Nexus.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
You kinda asked for it by attempting to follow a guide that is not for your device. HTC One =/= Nexus 5.

Like the above said, you wiped a partition essential to the function of your device. No way to fix it. Gonna have to send it back to Google, hopefully when you do they won't charge you and will just send you another. They might be used to having a million returns because when a device launchers there is a massive amount of nitpicking customers trying to get replacements and/or their are legit issues with the devices and they won't bother to check whats wrong with your phone. Most likely they will though, and who knows what you'll be charged. Good luck!

this just scares me about android. I am getting a nexus 5 soon, and love tweaking with my phones, so im pretty sure theres nothing to worry about, but still.... not trying to troll or anything, but on iPhone, its ridiculously hard to "hard brick". I've seen posts online, but most of the time its just users who end up thinking they've done a fix with no result, when in reality, ive had to fix plenty of iphones in the past, and some have come in horribly screwed up. always been able to fix them and restore though, even if it meant wiping a users data. With android, while I understand there are options to restore and such, it still seems rather easy to totally brick if you miss a step or something were to happen.

hoping I will never have this issue.... :-\
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
iPhone's are pretty much impossible to hard brick. Was in the jailbreak scene for 2 and a half years, and there is no way to hard brick one. Very early on it was possible, but not anymore. Android devices are pretty hard to brick usually. Just make sure you follow a guide for your device and all should be well. Only risky thing really is flashing the wrong firmware or radio on a device. Flashing roms, mods, or wiping the entire device is always fixable (not important partitions though, but that's only possible via command terminal like in this case). I was at first scared with my HTC One since it was my first android device, but realized as long as you know what your doing all should go well.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Don't be too scared. Honestly bricking a nexus device is quite hard as long you are somewhat literate. With most situations (if you have access to the bootloader) you have the option of flashing the factory images which will get your phone up and running 95% of the time. Basically if you can access the bootloader, there is nothing to panic or worry about.

The only reason this guy bricked his phone is because he thought it was a good idea to root his nexus 5 using a guide that teaches you how to unlock the bootloader on an HTC One. :confused:

Just make sure you read a bit, understand what you are doing, and don't blindly follow random instructions that you find on the interwebz. If you follow that advice i doubt you will have any problems.
